My new project - 'Transformer' Standup/Sit down driver cab
Cretster:
Not sure why you mean about moving the pedals sorry bud? To what end? Do you mean for this new lift ram? It was going to just go on one side of the door, but to be honest, it's too big and I can't see any way I can actually use the damn thing. :(
It's about 3foot closed, and extends 24"- just can't find any angle where it can possibly fit inside the cabinet and do what's needed sadly. Shame since it was free.
It's feasible it could fit eternally on the side of the cabinet that's more or less against the wall (so mainly not seen) but I wanted to keep everything hidden ideally.
Will run me another £50 ore so to buy a suitable smaller one at least and budget is tight.
For now anyway, I want to try to make the seat more comfy and look better. I've got the monitor to pivot so it can tilt forward as required now at least.

You mentioned wanting to make the seat slide, so I thought you didn't have enough leg room.
Cretster:
Ahh I see. No the leg room is mostly ok really for me (I'm 5'10") but it'd be nice to be able to adjust both the seat and pedal positions as required for other people.
Ideally, a subframe from a car seat would do as it has the adjustment handle and rails combined to allow it to easily move and lock in any position.
Not sure if there's a (cheap) readily available alternative though as that'd seem a bit overkill to fit under the pedals if nothing else.
Seriously considering putting that big ram on the outside of the cabinet now just to be done with it. Mostly it'll be hidden anyway behind the cabinet, and easy to replace at a later date with a smaller internal one if funds permit I guess.
Cretster:
Been a major seat redesign today so some pics later hopefully, and progress.
Cretster:
Ok, it's not really pretty right now, nor physically finished but still, you probably get the idea. Here's 'normal' arcade mode (screen obviously missing!):
Then Driving mode. Front folds down, & seat folds up, Steering wheel motors itself out into place, screen & controls drop down 13" lower to suit being sat down. Pedals fold into place:
Front panel folded down ready for the seat to be positioned and the 'spoiler' raised:
This bit has to stay folded out of the way while the door is up, then folds into position to make the front half of the seat like this:
